    Electronic Drums: Dirty 'em Up!?

    Can anyone recomend a good unit that can really give electronic drums a good gritty analogue dirtiness? My sampled drums are fine but the methods I've been using to try to 'naturalize' me drum machine/computer drums (prduced in propellerhead's reason) are still leaving the drums a little to...

    Mic pros, answer me this: Close or far?

    MIC MASTER? Just when I thought this thing was over and done, it EXPLODES! It seems we all just stepped in a big pile of 'Lemansky' and it'll be a while before we completely get our shoes clean. I went to this http://micguru.webjump.com/ website to check up on this guy and he makes some bold...

    Mic pros, answer me this: Close or far?

    Steve who? My apologies. I have NO idea who this Steve Lamansky is. But then again, I would admit to being in that 'New kid on the block' category that was mentioned earlier. This Mr. Lamansky may very well be the world's leading microphone expert. I suppose if I had read the credits at the end...

    Mic pros, answer me this: Close or far?

    So generally which is better for all around vocal recording. The vocalist and pop screen further away with the input gain cranked up OR very close to the mic with the gain way down (as not to peak it out.)???

    So what's a couple thousand bucks amongst tube compressors???

    YEAH, I got it all running into my 424 with uncleaned heads and a 99 cent lo-fi cassette tape! Sh#t, what do you think I'm a rookie? I happen to like the NT-1 (you all know damn well what it's like to gat attatched to a piece regardless of what else comes along. But, this isn't the 'Mics'...

    So what's a couple thousand bucks amongst tube compressors???

    Anyway,... All of this has actually been quite informative but allow me to bring it back on track a bit. I originally was inquiring about the a 'budget comp' vs, the Summit because I had learned from a trusted source that the Summit TLA-100A was a 'good vocal compressor for THICK AND POIGNANT...

    So what's a couple thousand bucks amongst tube compressors???

    Alright my friends, I want the brutal truth don't hold back. What's the difference between a SUPER-budget compressor like an ART Tube ($100) and something like a $1700 Summit Audio TLA-100A? Is it honestly a dollar-for-dollar case of 'you get what you pay for' or will the cheap guy hold its own...

    Wimpy G4 soundcard?

    Wimpy G4 Soundcard?? I'm running right out of the G4 stock card to a mackie 12-channel. The levels are still considerably lower than any other piece of hardware (keyboards etc.) that I have plugged into the mixer. It's good to hear that this stock soundcard will suffice for now since my cash...

    Wimpy G4 soundcard?

    I'd like to start running 'Reason' (new sound program) on my late model G4. My question? Well, is the internal stock soundcard sufficient to work with in my home studio (right out of the mini jack with some high quality cables)? One thing I noticed while doing this is that the output level...

    MACKIE MACK !

    I mean is there any part of the mixer (such as the pre amp) which is subject to degredation or noticable wear that would make it ill-advised to buy one of these used. Basically is it like buying a used book, which may be beat up but is the same great story. Or is it like buying a used condom...
